Start your journey in Broome, often called the pearl of North West Australia and the gateway to the stunning Kimberley wilderness. Known for Cable Beach's famous white sands, it's a top holiday spot in Western Australia. Broome is 2,240 km (1,390 mi) north of Perth, with a permanent population of about 14,436 that jumps to over 45,000 during tourist season.

The Rowley Shoals, 260 kilometers west of Broome in the Timor Sea, are top spots for diving and snorkeling. The three coral atolls—Mermaid, Clerke, and Imperieuse Reefs—rise straight up from the clear waters on the edge of the continental shelf. Each atoll is around 80 to 90 square kilometers, with shallow lagoons full of corals and marine life, great for snorkelers and scuba divers. Paspaley Pearl is staying at the Rowley Shoals for three and a half days to make the most of it.

A day at sea provides an ideal opportunity for contemplation, allowing you to reminisce about the extraordinary moments shared with fellow adventurers. Take a moment to savor the rare tranquility of the open sea and connect with your expedition team to discover exciting upcoming adventures on the horizon.

Located in one of the remotest regions of Australia, with no road access and the nearest town over 250 kilometers away, the stunningly rugged Collier Bay and Camden Sound are home to the second largest tides in the world. This ebb and flow of the tide has shaped the ancient landscape into a breathtaking vista and created unique tidal phenomena such as Horizontal Falls (Garaanngaddim). The region is of cultural significance to the Dambeemangarddee, a saltwater people who have been living along the coast for many thousands of years. Their culture and connection to the environment have evolved with an inherent association to these tidal movements. The rich marine environment is also home to the world’s largest inshore reef system, Montgomery Reef (Yowjab), and each year the world’s largest population of migrating humpback whales visits the region.

The region is best known for the iconic destinations of Horizontal Falls (Garaanngaddim), Montgomery Reef (Yowjab), Raft Point (Ngumbree), and Freshwater Cove (Wijingarra Bard Bard).

There are many other destinations inaccessible to larger vessels, including Sampson Inlet, Hall Point, Red Cone Creek, Sapphire Falls, Ruby Falls, Sale River, Walcott Inlet, Prior Point, and Langgi.

The Lacepede Islands are Western Australia’s most important breeding habitat for Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) and have been named by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA). The breeding colony of Brown Boobies is possibly the largest in the world. Up to 20,000 Roseate Terns have also been recorded here. Other birds breeding on the islands include Masked Boobies, Australian Pelicans, Lesser Frigatebirds, Eastern Reef Egrets, Silver Gulls, Crested, Bridled, and Lesser Crested Terns, Common Noddies, Pied, and Sooty Oystercatchers. Join your expedition team for a guided zodiac tour to view the prolific wildlife.
